Day Off
Year: 2001
Runtime: 127 mins
Language: French
Director: Pascal Thomas
In spring in Nantes, a handful of children aged three to eleven enjoy a free Wednesday while their parents are away. Emma, a nine‑year‑old romantic, convinces her friends to “adopt” the lonely street boy Roland. Victoria spends the day with her distant father Martin and learns to love him. Meanwhile Muriel, Bruno, Colette and Henri cause chaos at home, and Marylin confronts the bittersweet drama of her childhood with an unusually kind mother. Through these intertwined vignettes the film shows how children’s logic and imagination differ sharply from that of adults.
